Ukip

The UK Independence Party was formed in 1993 with the primary objective to withdraw the United Kingdom from the European Union. Led by Nigel Farage, Ukip currently has 24 of the 74 UK seats in the European Parliament and polled 3.1% of the vote in the 2010 general election. The right-wing party also has two MPs - Douglas Carswell and Mark Reckless - who have defected from the Conservative Party.
